ASRock 890GX Extreme4 Motherboard Review

For as long as we can remember enthusiasts around the world have been keen to see how their systems perform with many commercially available benchmarks from such companies as Futuremark.

You can get the KitGuru Photoshop Benchmark 1(4) here. Please note lower times are better as this means less time is taken by the system to process the commands.

The extra performance available when overclocking is made clear in our Photoshop benchmark with a decent improvement in performace achieved in almost every part of the test.  In fact the overclocked CPU completed the test in more than two minutes less than at stock speed.
